BATE vs Slavia Prague: Preview and Predictions

BATE will have a very tough task to come back from a goal deficit in the first leg against Czech champions Slavia Prague this Wednesday.

The one-goal deficit is not too big of an advantage for the Czechs, but we just can’t see the Belarusian side pulling the comeback off after a horrendous display from Eden Arena seven days ago.

BATE used to feature the group stage of the competition for two years in a row, but the Belarusian champions are certainly far from that level at the moment.

The team suffered an early exit to Dundalk last year and they have been struggling a lot to see off Armenian Alashkert in the second round of the competition this year.

Aleksandr Yermakovich’s men are on their way to lose the domination in the top flight of the Belarusian football as they are three points behind Shakhtyor at the top of the standings after 16 rounds of the competition in the new season of Premier League.
